Babbitt will draw the start in Monday's matchup with the Knicks, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pelicans' roster is a mess right now due to a ton of injuries, so they continue to toy with starting lineup options. Babbitt has started two of the previous four games for New Orleans. He averaged 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 2.0 blocks in 32.1 minutes during those contests. If the Pelicans continue to start him he could be a risky pickup in deep leagues, while he remains an intriguing DFS play.

Babbitt scored 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt) while adding five assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring just two points in 24 minutes during his return to the bench Thursday, Babbitt was able to find his shooting rhythm again Saturday. The battered Pelicans don't have many healthy players capable of producing offense right now, so look for Babbitt to continue seeing solid minutes to close out the season.

Babbitt will come off the bench Thursday against Indiana, broadcaster Sean Kelley reports.
EDGE Analysis
With only eight active players for New Orleans on Thursday, Babbitt still figures to see considerable time on the court despite losing his spot as a starter to Alonzo Gee.

Babbitt scored a season-high 23 points (10-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with four rebounds during 35 minutes in Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the loss, this is a game that Babbitt will have to keep in his memory if he wants to revive his career with the Pelicans. Babbitt has taken steps towards that by showing he can score the rock when given an ample amount of minutes. He isn't an efficient scorer, but was particularly good Tuesday in a matchup against one of the better defensive teams in the league. With Anthony Davis out the rest of the season, expect Babbitt to play a bigger role, which should give him a nice boost in fantasy.

Babbitt posted 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and eight rebounds over 29 minutes in Sunday's 109-105 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Babbitt picked up his seventh start of the season with Anthony Davis (knee, shoulder) and Ryan Anderson (groin) ruled out, and injuries to those two players along with many others on the roster opened up a significant dose of minutes. Davis won't return this season and Anderson could miss further time as well, so Babbitt figures to see increased opportunities as the Pelicans wind down a losing campaign. Babbitt's best skill is his ability to knock down three-pointers, and while that will occasionally allow him to top double digits in the scoring column, there isn't much appeal in owning him when he's misfiring from the field.

Babbitt will start at forward on Sunday against the Clippers, Brett Dawson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
EDGE Analysis
Babbitt has been playing well recently in light of the absence of the Pelican's All-Star forward Anthony Davis (knee, shoulder), who is ruled out for the rest of the season. Since March 11, he has averaged 21 minutes per game, and produced 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game. He is however, inconsistent and hasn't yet produced anything truly valuable for a fantasy owner.

Babbitt contributed 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 35 minutes during Monday's loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Babbit has scored double-digit points just four times this season, twice in his last two games. With he Pelicans' roster ravaged by injury, the veteran forward saw the most action this season and put up a decent scoring total. Still, even with more opportunities ahead, Babbitt isn't worth a look in almost any situation.

Babbitt (shin) contributed two points (1-3 FG), three rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes during the Pelicans' 121-114 overtime loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the last two contests with a shin bruise, Babbitt was able to give it a go on Friday. However, he is not much of a threat to post impressive numbers given his role as a three-point specialist off the bench.

Babbitt (shin) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Babbitt was forced to remain sidelined during Monday's win over the Kings due to a left shin contusion, and he could miss Wednesday's tilt as well. He's not much of a contributor in terms of fantasy value, but he could see a slight increase in playing time once he's healthy, as the Pelicans are a bit thin at forward.

Babbitt is dealing with a left shin contusion and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Babbitt hasn't been a regular member of the Pelicans rotation for much of the season, but with injuries mounting for the squad, he's been able to get some light playing time of late, as he's averaging eight minutes while appearing in seven of the last 11 games. With Eric Gordon (finger) now likely to miss the remainder of the season, Babbitt should become more of a mainstay for the Pelicans down the stretch, so his potential absence Monday could loom larger than normal. Look for a formal update on his status closer to tip off.
